Drip-Along Daffy - Censorship

Censorship

  • When this cartoon aired on ABC, some of the gun gags in the introduction scene (one of which involves a victim being taken to "Rigor O'Mortis: The Smiling Undertaker") before Daffy and Porky arrive were cut, and the scene of the bartender mixing the noxious drink for Nasty Canasta and Daffy was shortened.
  • On Cartoon Network, in addition to time-compression, the very last scene of Porky as the new sheriff saying of Daffy's new job as street-sweeper, "Lucky for him it is a one-horse town", was dropped, mostly likely for the not-so-veiled reference to horse manure (though it can be argued that this was a time cut, as Cartoon Network's original programming do contain toilet humor at times and are not edited for it). It instead ends with Daffy just beginning to push the street sweeper cart followed by a jump to the end card.

Famous quotes containing the word censorship:

    Right now I think censorship is necessary; the things they’re doing and saying in films right now just shouldn’t be allowed. There’s no dignity anymore and I think that’s very important.
    Mae West (1892–1980)

    ... censorship often boils down to some male judges getting to read a lot of dirty books—with one hand.
    Robin Morgan (b. 1941)

    The censorship method ... is that of handing the job over to some frail and erring mortal man, and making him omnipotent on the assumption that his official status will make him infallible and omniscient.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
